Bean and Pasta Soup

1 onion chopped
2 Tbs. Olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs. Italian Seasoning
2 cans white beans
3 cups uncooked ditalini pasta (salad macaroni)
6 cups chicken both
2-14 oz cans petite diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper

Chop onion and saute with some salt and pepper in 2 Tbs. olive oil/veg. oil till translucent. Add garlic and stir for one minute and stir in the Italian seasoning. Add chicken broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 min. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper). Bring it back to a boil and add pasta. When pasta almost cooked add beans. When pasta cooked, simmer for a few minutes longer. This soup will absorb a lot of the broth the longer it sits. So just add some more broth to your liking.
